The End of 'VIP Migrants'
Gruevski, Ziobro and others: Orban granted asylum to his political friends facing legal problems. This should come to an end: Hungary's future prime minister announces he will expel them – if they don't leave themselves.
TL;DR
- Hungary's new government, led by Peter Magyar, plans to extradite foreign politicians who have received asylum to escape legal troubles.
- Notable figures include former Macedonian Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski and former Polish Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro and his deputy Marcin Romanowski.
- Magyar stated that Hungary will not be a 'dumping ground for internationally wanted criminals' and will find ways to extradite them if they do not leave voluntarily.
- This policy aims to improve Hungary's bilateral relations, particularly with Poland and North Macedonia, and potentially unlock frozen EU funds.
- In North Macedonia, the plan to extradite Gruevski has created a political stir, with the current Prime Minister stating Gruevski would face his prison sentence upon return.
